Dear Mo,
Thank you for that. I found an alias left over from when I had MacPorts
installed to make sure I used the locate I wanted, not something else.
In simplifying I forgot all about that.
It wasn't all an empty exercise; I compiled and installed Bash-4.1
because the hash apparently didn't work. Of course it did work but the
alias torpedoed it, and my desires.
I've got more simplifying to do now.
Shalom,
John B. Brown.

Apparently that is not the source of the error.
In which case, you have an alias pointing at /usr/local/bin/locate. The error is quite definitely being produced by the shell itself. What does “type locate” say? Does a new terminal session work correctly? You’ve evidently got a customised profile, so I’d be looking there for the culprit.
